Side Note: This concert was attended by The Smooth Sound of Tallahassee WJZT 97.9 as well as myself and many others. I had the pleasure, that night, of sitting next to a gentleman that I had seen at a previous performance. I told the gentleman that I had seen Dayve perform many times before, but each time is like a first time for me. The gentleman recalled seeing me at another venue the week before and told me that he thought Dayve Stewart and The Vibe was inspirational. He went on to tell me that he hadn’t touched his guitar since 2000 after the passing of his daughter and that he was inspired to go home and pick up his instrument after a five year hiatus. I was then asked why Dayve was still only playing in Tallahassee and not even in his hometown of Tampa, FL.

This brought me to the internet where I found a bio of another saxophone player from the same hometown around the same time that was almost identical to Dayve’s. Dayve is an inspirational and entertaining performer. Let’s make some room.
